This book was released on 2008 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SMART-SIGNAL data collection system has been installed on an 11-intersections arterial corridor along France Avenue in Hennepin County, Minnesota since February 2007. Event-based signal data are being collected in a 24/7 mode and then immediately archived in the SMART-SIGNAL system, thus yielding a tremendous amount of field data available for research. The field study shows that the proposed mathematical models can generate accurate time-dependent queue lengths, travel times, numbers of stops, and other performance measures under various traffic conditions.
